PendingStatement

Trait mixed into the result type of the pending statement of trait Assertions, which always throws TestPendingException.

This type is used primarily to facilitate the is (pending) syntax of traits FlatSpec, WordSpec, and FLatSpec as well the is (pending) or (pending) syntax of sibling traits in the org.scalatest.fixture package. Because the pending method in Assertions always completes abruptly with an exception, its type would be inferred to be Nothing, which is a relatively common type. To make sure syntax like is (pending) only works with method pending, it is helpful to have a specially named "Nothing" type.
